The School of Medical Fitness Specialization (MFS)

The Fitness Institute of Technology (F.I.T.), School of Medical Fitness Specialization is a long overdue necessity for American civilization. The MFS degree is the first program of its kind anywhere in the world to bridge the gulf between medicine and fitness. Most medical and health care experts know that America is quickly approaching a deadly crisis. The Obesity Epidemic is expected to be at 70% for adults (by 2012) and 50% for children (by 2010). The experts have no idea how to stop the murderous onslaught that will result. This program will give you the knowledge, skill, tactics, strategies, and specialization you will need to safely and effectively meet the needs of the health-challenged, severely-deconditioned, and special populations groups that are rapidly becoming the majority of our populations. Since 92% of the American population does not exercise enough to receive any health benefits, you will need the Medical Fitness Specialization program to effectively and safely remedy the numerous health and medical problems that this lack of exercise has created. The lack of exercise has created an Obesity Epidemic and this epidemic has created numerous Metabolic Syndrome disorders that have now created a Cancer Epidemic, a Diabetes Epidemic, and a host of other disorders that are not only decreasing the number of years our citizens will live, but destroying the quality of life for all our citizens : mentally, emotionally, socially, professionally, financially, artistically, and spiritually.

This program will give you knowledge (and knowledge is power) to help men, women and children live fuller, happier, more productive lives!
